iPhoto


In May, after seven years, I switched from QuickTime to the iPhoto team. I'm mostly working on the editing features, which is very cool. As part of work, we regularly go on photo shoots. Here are some photos of when we went to Stanford last week.

Top of the Mark


Yesterday, a bunch of us from work went to the Top of the Mark bar after training home. The drinks were expensive, but the view amazing. These are from my phone:

Pictures from Heidelberg and Vienna


Well, I've completed my Europe 2005 pictures with these from Vienna and Heidelberg. Vienna was lots of fun, as I visited with Spike and Nina and my friend Marc's brother Andrew and his parents.

Crissy Field


One of my favorite spots in San Francisco is Crissy Field, down by the Golden Gate Bridge. Its beautiful, parking is easy, and there is lots to see. Today, it was very windy, so there were lots of windsurfers out. See my photos here.

Pictures from Amsterdam


After some time, I've finally taken some time to sort and edit pictures that I took while in Europe in September 2005. I edited the pictures in Aperture, and then brought them into iPhoto to export to html. The workflow isn't too bad.

The first set is Amsterdam. Heidelberg and Vienna are coming soon.

Mom's visit to San Francisco


Mom came out to visit me in San Francisco. We had a nice visit, even though it rained a lot. Here are some photos from our dinner with our cousin Ditka.

Visited Countries


Kim points out a site where one can list and color countries one has been to. Pretty cool. Too bad They don't have one just for Hong Kong, since its a little misleading to count all of China.





For the US, it looks something like this. Not sure if driving to Florida counts as visiting, but we did stop in a few places:

Mavericks 2006


This morning, I played hooky for a few hours and stopped by the Mavericks surf break in Half Moon Bay to take a few pictures before work. I checked out a few new vantage points, and another photographer let me use his 500mm lens for a bit. I haven't finished sorting through the photos (in Aperture) but so far, this is one of my favorites:

Aperture


Over the holidays, I borrowed a 17" Powerbook so I'd be able to try out and learn Aperture. First impressions are really good as far as photo editing and manipulation, and sorting. I'm less happy with the ability to label the photos with captions and comments. I was able to export using a modified theme based on the theme that I use for my iPhoto photos and this blog. I made both a photo gallery and a photo journal, from a few pictures taken while up in Napa.

Back from Europe


I'm back from Europe, and trying to reorganize and get my photos up there. Lots of updates; as I haven't yet uploaded pictures from Montreal, San Diego, Vancouver or Amsterdam / Heidelberg / Vienna either. And I also got a new lens for my Canon 20D, the 70-300DO IS USM. It's very nice and compact.

Good news, though, is that .mac has updated its storage to 1 GB, so I now have lots more space for photos online. I also just got a copy of Photoshop CS2, so I'll have even more fun with pics.

Watch here for updates.

White Water Rafting


Thai Wey and Tracia organized a trip for a bunch of people to the middle fork of the American River, just outside Auburn. Sean and I went up together and crashed up there, which really beat getting up at 3:30 am. We had great weather and great water. Pictures here.

Mavericks Surfing Competition


Mavericks is a reef break off Half Moon Bay that spawns 25'+ waves a couple of times a season during the winter. An annual competition is held with 24 hours notice for pro surfers -- and this year, I was able to go. Jesse and I went out at 7:30 am to check out the surf and swells. Pictures here.

Tahoe weekend


I visited with Bob and Yvette up at Lake Tahoe, where I hung out and snowboarded and skied. ON the way home, I stopped to visit John, Christina and Connor in Tracy, where we went to Connor's basketball game. Pictures here.

Better pictures...


Well, human error had me not filtering my jpegs during web exports, so they didn't look right, especially with the new camera. I also took this opportunity to make the default size 800x600 instead of 640x480. All of you need to get bigger displays anyway!

New photos of San Francisco, Mom's Birthday and Montreal.
